This week we are talking all about what teachers at our school like to do for fun. There is a WIDE variety of different things they like to do, from eating Colombian food to going down water slides.
Our students loved seeing their teachers engaged in lots of different activities and we hope you do too!

We are all ready for the summer and have begun thinking about places we can go for vacation. One pretty popular place is the beach! There are lots of different things to see and do at the beach and our book covers some of these things, like playing in the water and seeing ocean animals. It got us all wanting to go! It looks like 2 of our students have visited the beach.
Make sure to check out their pictures in the book.

The weather is so nice right now and there are lots of things to do that keep us busy this last little part of the school year, so we decided to have our theme be about all of the different things that we do during the spring. The book talks about different things like spring break (did that even happen??), the talent show, and graduation, just to name a few. There are so many more things that go on, though, so make sure to check out the book!

National Siblings Day is April 10 so our theme is all about siblings! We have some of our own students in the book, but instead of it being focused around our students, we found out some pretty neat things about some of the staff’s siblings. One of our staff members has a sister who is a scientist, another staff member has a sister who is a music therapist, and our very own principal has a brother who works for NASA! Find out more about our siblings in our book and make sure to celebrate your own siblings 🙂

We came up with our own original book this year due to a confusion about the themes that we had gone over. We are celebrating Cinderella Monkey’s Birthday this week!

They are all coming to help their friend, Cinderella Monkey, celebrate her Birthday. Check it out to see what everyone brought their friend!

March Madness is here!! Lots of people get hyped up around this time of year due to all of the basketball games being played, so we decided to do a some research and find out a little more about the game of basketball. The book talks about WHO invented basketball, what the first pro game was, and how March Madness originated in the first place. We learned so many interesting things about the game of basketball! We do have one student featured in our book on our “THE END” page, so make sure to check it out!

We are taking a trip and learning all about Israel this week. We were lucky to get some authentic pictures of Israel taken by one of our nurses, Jill, who just recently visited the country. Our book tells about some of the things you can see in Israel, such as the Dead Sea and the Negev Desert. You can also find out what kind of produce is grown and distributed out of Israel. Check out the book and see some of the great photos from Jill!

The theme for this week is Youth Art Month, which is observed during the month of March.
